It also assembled vehicles for export to other right hand drive markets in the region, such as Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Kenya and Mauritius. Its made for south Africa with major components from the UK, and over time, increasing amount of local content. J5 for the bus chassis is about right for a lwb bus chassis, equivalent to C5 in the UK or J4 like C4 for a medium length chassis. South Africa, unlike the UK, generally did not have the low load height (J2 - J4) cab with headlamp 'eye-brows'.
